Kam Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 There's still time! Don't give up yet. Even if it doesn't work out this year, you can try again next year with a bit more experience. I do hope things work out for you this year, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikefarm Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I feel for you and yes, hang in there! Hope for the best and expect the worst (as my sister has been telling me after my first 2 rejections). If not this year, definitely the next and keep us posted.

Ozymandias Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I feel for you. Think of it from training in what publishing will be like. Lots and lots of rejections from journals and critiques that can be quite harsh. Perseverance is certainly a job skill in academia. bikefarm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam_cs Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I know I am not alone. But it doesn't make anything better. I hope each one of us gets into someplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby4 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I am in the EXACT same boat. Applied to 10 and have been rejected by 4 (which I have only heard from 4). I don't like telling people because my professors had such faith in me I feel like I am disapointing people, I haven't even told my parents and I recently started devising a plan B.

That's what I feel. All I have done so far is nothing but disappointing them. I also started working on plan B. But some places require references again. This is a difficult situation.

Tiglath-Pileser III Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I applied to 5 schools and have been rejected by 1. Now, I'm wondering if I didn't apply to enough schools. Now, that I am hearing about people applying to 10 or 12 schools and getting 4 rejects in a row. If I get 4 rejects, I'm out of the game. I really don't want to spend the next year as adjunct faculty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbaNader Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 1 reject, waiting for the rest of the 3 to reject me...trust me adam_cs, I know how it feels...keep your head up and hope for the best...

I really don't want to spend the next year as adjunct faculty. I applied to 6 schools only, and I've been thinking the same thing as you (whether I've applied to too few schools).
